Chapter 27: Farce
This team of more than 100 people quickly surrounded the war department under the cover of night, and in order to cover this operation, Albert even set up a large number of police forces two blocks away to carry out evacuation alert tasks.
Martin moved forward quickly with his rifle, and turned right at the intersection in front of him to enter Linden Street, where the War Department was located. So far everything went as planned, no one saw them along the way, and all the streets along the way were cordoned off by police loyal to Albert, as if the War Department had opened its doors directly to them.
The major officer who led the team excitedly looked at the Bodhi Tree Street that was getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but imagine that after completing this task, he would have to have a colonel to be the one he would be.
Just as he turned the corner and entered Linden Street, a sudden gunshot startled the officer, and he lowered his voice and asked the soldier on the side: "Who?!" Damn who's going off with the gun?! ”
The soldier did not answer him, but pointed to the corpse lying on the ground with trembling hands. The officer was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked forward, and saw that not far from the entrance of the combat department, more than 100 people were pointing their guns at them, and what made people even weaker than them was that there were two tanks behind them covering a large number of infantry to block the retreat.
They are surrounded!
"Put down your guns, or it's not just the hapless guy on the ground who will die." A man in a black police uniform walked out through the crowd in front of him and shouted to the raiding party.
Damn it, cops?! Are you kidding me, God? It was the first thought that crossed the Major's mind.
The policeman may have seen the surprise in the major's heart, and explained with a smile: "Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Ludwig, and I am the commander of the Gestapo. Well, maybe you don't know what the Gestapo is, but you must know about the purge in the country some time ago, right? ”
Hearing this, the Major nodded subconsciously.
Ludwig said with satisfaction: "We did all that, and not a single person in their betrayed family survived." ”
"You're the demon they said they were?! No, no, no! Leave me alone! Please spare me! Hearing Ludwig's self-introduction, the major apparently remembered something, and he became hysterical, apparently what Ludwig had done was very inhumane.
"Oh, you don't have to be like this, I'm dealing with people who betrayed and betrayed Germany, you didn't betray the motherland, I won't do anything to you. You just have to tell me, where is the dear Major General Miller, we searched all the places we could find, and there was no him. Ludwig was still smiling.
"Okay, well, I'll tell you, as long as you let me go." The major seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
"Speak quickly!" Ludwig began to get a little impatient.
"He's in President Albert's office, where are both of them, I said, can you go?" The Major said cautiously.
"Of course, but what about your comrades? What do they do? Ludwig pointed to the rest of the soldiers.
"They? They're at your disposal! You can do whatever you want. The major said quickly, as if he wanted to get out of here, and the soldiers on the side looked at him incredulously.
"Oh, so you don't care about them? Oh well, you can go. Ludwig waved his hand.
The major hurried out of the crowd as if he had been granted amnesty.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the major stopped, looking incredulously at his chest.
"Well, although you did not betray Germany, you betrayed General Lyon and your comrades. I'm sorry, but in my heart they are as important as my homeland. Ludwig shook his head, returned the rifle that was still smoking in his hand to the soldiers on the side, and then said to the more than 100 raiding soldiers who were still in place and didn't know what to do: "As for you, put down your rifles and go home first, aren't your families all in Berlin?" Take this opportunity to go back and have a look. Tomorrow I will report to the Berlin police station, and I can't go uninvestigated if something like this happens. Of course, don't tell anyone about today, or I can't guarantee when the Gestapo will come to your house. ”
The soldiers threw away their rifles, hesitated to walk outside the encirclement, and found that no one stopped them, so they hurriedly rushed home.
Ludwig straightened his uniform as if to himself: "How good, you can still go home." Then he ordered the soldiers on the side: "Leave a few people to clean up the bodies of that unlucky man and that bastard, clean up the blood on the ground, and send a few more people to inform the general that we have found a rat's nest and let him come as soon as possible." The others picked up their guns and joined me to take out those damn rats. ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked towards a few trucks parked in the dark, and the other Gestapo did not say a word, efficiently executing Ludwig's orders, getting on the trucks, and disposing of the corpses on the ground, with a clear division of labor, as if an efficient machine.
Soon several trucks with two tanks were speeding towards the presidential palace a few blocks away, and the traces left behind were quickly cleaned up as if nothing had happened here.
Miller was drinking coffee and chatting with Albert in the president's office at this time: "Mr. President, when we take out Lyon, what are you going to do with the problem of the young Zhuang faction in the Wehrmacht?" The young men were trying to rebuild the Army. Miller asked Albert with his coffee.
"I plan to re-recruit veterans who yearn for peace to come back and take over those young people, and you can rest assured that you will be the new leader of the Wehrmacht when you succeed." Albert replied, and then the two of them looked at each other with their coffee, smiling heartily, as if all of Germany was under their control.
After another ten minutes, Albert felt that something was wrong, he frowned and said, "What's the matter?" More than 40 minutes have passed since the start of the operation, and a simple arrest operation should have been completed long ago. ”
Miller was also stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Yes, even if I was resisted, why didn't I hear the gunshot?" ”
At this moment, the sound of cars came from far and near, mixed with a strange rumbling sound. Albert gave Miller a strange look and said, "They're back?" You also gave them a car? ”
Miller was also confused: "No, the goal of the car is too big, they are all on foot." ”
Suddenly, as if they had thought of something, they said damn it at the same time, and then Albert immediately ran to the window and shouted to the guards outside: "Guard! Guard! Don't let anyone in! Block them! ”
The guards ran quickly to the gate and began to set up barricades, but Miller seemed powerless - all his troops in Berlin had been sent to raid the War Department, and the troops in Frankfurt were clearly far from quenching their thirst.
At this point, the two can only hope that the Presidential Guard can stop the offensive, although this possibility is very small.
Ludwig ordered his troops to get out of their vehicles some distance from the presidential palace, and then two tanks began to attack the presidential palace as cover. The Presidential Guard watched nervously with rifles as they approached the troops.
There is a row of concrete barricades set up at the entrance of the presidential palace, which weighs more than 100 pounds and can block the impact of most vehicles in a row, but the two iron guys in front of them obviously do not belong to the "vast majority", they easily run over these barricades, and then rush to the guards hiding behind sandbags.
If the ordinary guards had surrendered, they would have surrendered long ago, but they were all Albert's henchmen, so although they were afraid, they still picked up their rifles and started shooting.
The bullets hit the front armor of the tank, and the only effect was to make a "clanging" sound, and the soldiers in the tank were full of bad taste, they drove the tank to a very close place to the guards before they began to shoot, four 7.92mm machine guns poured a rain of bullets, and the guards were put down in pieces before they could scream, just like harvesting wheat.
Soon, the guards were killed and there was no one left, and you can't blame Ludwig for being ruthless, these people are Albert's diehards, and if you don't kill them all, they will give you a shot in the back when you are slack.
Ludwig looked at the corpses and blood all over the ground, and with a blank face, he led a few soldiers carrying a black object across the corpse and walked into the presidential palace.
Albert and Miller, in the office, trembled as they listened to the gunfire outside the window getting weaker and weaker, and finally stopped, replaced by the click of leather shoes, getting closer and closer, and finally stopped outside the door.
The office door was pushed open, and Miller and Albert pulled out their pistols and began to shoot at the door, but the bullets were all on a one-man tall black shield, and behind the shield were the soldiers.
There were not many bullets in the pistol, and the bullets ran out in a while, and the two of them still pulled the trigger mechanically. They didn't change the magazine, because even if they fired a thousand or ten thousand rounds, they wouldn't be able to penetrate the shield in front of them.
Ludwig stepped out from behind the shield and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to take the pistols from the hands of the two men, even though they had no bullets.
"The two of you, first meeting, my name is Ludwig, and I am the commander of the Gestapo." Ludwig came up and introduced himself like this, not in a hurry, because he was not in a hurry.
Albert had recovered from his original fear and said, "Needless to say, I know you, aren't you just one of Leon's dogs." What about Lyon? Let him come to me. ”
Ludwig was not angry when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am one of the general's dogs, and I will bite whoever he asks me to bite." The general is already on his way over, and you'll see him soon. ”
